Man mistakes straw bale for stricken woman, gives it CPR
Island Packet ^

Posted on 06/27/2007 5:59:26 AM PDT by SmoothTalker

"A Hilton Head Island man confused bales of pine straw with a dead woman, and tried to resuscitate them early Tuesday morning, according to a sheriff's report.

The 39-year-old called deputies to the parking lot of Hilton Head Cabanas, 32 South Forest Beach Drive, at 1:49 a.m., saying he had just tried to perform CPR on a dead woman, according to the sheriff's report."

"They arrived to find him talking to a large bale of pine straw."

" Deputies think the man had been drinking. The report says he thought Tuesday was Halloween and he had two empty bottles of bourbon inside his home."

I’m sure he was sober. Happens to me all the time.

Perhaps a little too much canabis in the cabanas.

Don’t judge him too harshly.

I also start drinking heavily this time of year...

...after all the in-laws will be coming over in three weeks for Thanksgiving.

As long as it was pine straw, I'm okay with it. Any other kind of straw would have been depraved.

I can see how he’d do this. I had a neighbor, named sue, who had log kinda blonde hair that looked like hay. We called her hay-head. She also looked like a wittch, and wasn’t very pleasant or smart, so I’d never try to rescussitate her, but some guy with 2 bottles of bourbon down the hatch may.

So the guy had a couple of bottles of bourbon and mixed up his days a bit, and tried to resuscitate some straw. The point is that he thought he was saving a life and that’s commendable.

Most people pass out long before they start skipping months and mistaking hay for people.

Don’t be silly. If it really was Teddy Kennedy, he wouldn’t have tried to rescusitate her, but instead would have called his lawyer and got himself a neck brace before contacting the police.

You have to make it through Christmas first man. That's the killer.

this guy needs some addition education:

This is a bale of straw.
and this is a woman.
Do you see the difference?
even drunk, the difference is quite noticeable.

If she was dead what could he possibly have been saying to her
